1. The damage caused to his house was colossal due to the hurricane.
2. The damage caused to his house was colossal after the hurricane.
Which is the most right expression?

I would prefer "due to" because it makes explicit that the hurricane caused the damage instead of the damage simply occurring sometime after the hurricane.
